Watching #trump get schooled in the negotiations with Iran’s second string government officials (the good ones having been killed) really shows a what a moron Trump is. No way to sugar code it.

I support Trump’s war of choice in Iran with the hope that it will lead to regime change in two countries: Iran & the U.S. Epic Fury? More like Epic F-Up.
I love how all the “f-Russia aid Ukraine” people are all “no regime change in Iran.” Get a coherent world view or go the f home.
Everyone on the left should be cheering for the overthrow of a tyrannical theocracy. Hard stop.
Simple: Iran has religious fanatic gov’t & enforced by the Iranian Revolution Guard. Its what the christian right is trying to build here, with ICE/DHS as enforcer. We would support any country that came to our aid. The progressive thing to do is support US attacks on Iran.
This is actually a serious question: why did any dem attend this speech? Is there some rule about that?
I’m not watching the State of the Union and it’s unclear why anyone who is not a Trump sycophant is. Norms are gone & the next Dem president won’t have a single Republican in the audience. It’s totally fine.
Keep it simple in 2026: They’re stealing from working Americans and calling it governance. Don’t get distracted. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
026 slogan (because it’s true): Stop the steal—of your paycheck, your rent, your future. The chaos is just the getaway car. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
If they cared about working Americans, they’d use government to lower costs. Instead, they use government to reward friends and punish enemies. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
The chaos is a smokescreen for a transfer of wealth: away from workers, toward donors, cronies, and connected industries. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
You don’t need a PhD to see it: your costs go up, their wealth goes up. That’s the whole story. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
They’re not “breaking norms” for you. They’re breaking norms so the insiders can cash in while everyone’s distracted. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
The simplest definition of corruption: public power used for private gain. That’s what chaos is protecting. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
Working Americans get price hikes and higher rent. The insiders get carve-outs, contracts, and tax breaks. That’s the deal. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
2026 message, plain English: They’re taking from you and giving it to them. The chaos is the cover. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
rump’s incentive is not “make life cheaper.” It’s “keep the chaos going.” Chaos weakens oversight. Oversight is the enemy of grift. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
2026 frame: Competence vs. corruption. Affordability is the deliverable. Grift is the obstacle. And distraction is the cover. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
rump doesn’t lack power to help working people. He lacks interest. Affordability requires sustained work. He prefers shortcuts, shakedowns, and headlines. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
Per the DHS's guidance, during a "lapse in appropriations" "Planning (such as strategic or business activities)" STOPS! While the ICE/CBP thugs will get paid during a DHS shutdown, the people who plan more "deployments" won't be working. Yes, SHUT IT DOWN. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul... (page 4)
dhs.gov
To any Democratic lawmaker thinking about funding DHS: no funding until reform! No masks! No warrantless entry!
2026 needs a simple message: They can fix costs. They won’t. Not because they’re powerless—but because the chaos is where the money is. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
Affordability isn’t “unsolvable.” It’s unaddressed. Because fixing it takes focus, competence, and follow-through—and Trump is too busy turning government into a grift machine. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
All the wrangling about why 18 New Yorkers died in the cold spell is laughable: it’s because #nyc has a weird libertarian reluctance to force people out of encampments & off the street. Just move them. Save lives. That is called an activist, progressive government. No excuses!
Distraction is governance when you don’t have a plan. It’s also cover when you’re stealing. Two birds, one outrage cycle. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
Autocracy and affordability are linked: when democratic accountability erodes, leaders can ignore the cost-of-living crisis forever. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
If they can’t solve affordability, they’ll try to make elections less meaningful so it doesn’t matter. That’s the endgame. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
They’ll deploy force, threaten agencies, and pick fights with states — but won’t use lawful power to make housing affordable. Priorities revealed. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
“Look over there!” is the oldest trick in the book. Meanwhile the real agenda is graft — crypto scams, self-dealing, and fleecing the Treasury. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
The administration is speed-running authoritarian vibes while pretending it can’t do anything about rent, wages, or healthcare costs. That’s a choice. buff.ly/T0OsIEK
